More Young Avengers! Patriot’s suit has one swatch, and Stature’s has two. The domino mask has two versions, one with white eye lenses and one with eye holes. Both masks come in 26 swatches for variety. More pictures + download under the cut.
Recommended CC: The belt I use for Patriot is zamboxious-sims’s Tool Belt Accessory.
Domino Masks
I maybe went overboard with the swatches here but there were almost forty, so this is actually me showing restraint. I wanted masks I could use for a variety of Sims and outfits, so I tried to make enough that it could go with pretty much anything.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the Young Avengers spent a lot of time as unsupervised daft teens with superpowers, and how often team training probably devolved into absolute nonsense like this
Also this is far from perfect (still getting used to the new tablet tbh) but I’m not sure I will ever draw anything better than this bit of the original sketch:
Say it with me people: These are not The Young Avengers but young Avengers.
The Young Avengers was a specific group that came together because of their particular connection to founding /. important members of The Avengers and a specific purpose. Neither Kamala nor Riri belong here. This group is missing founding member Teddy (Kaplan-)Altman, son of Captain Mar-vell and future king of space.
(Un)Friendly reminder that the Young Avengers isa team of legacy characters who have problems with their legacy.
It’s not about teen/young adult heroes. It’s not about legacy characters. It’s about characters that have a complicated relationship or story with their legacy. It’s the whole point of the team. From it’s very formation
V2 focused more on this, but it’s present from the start.
No, it’s not.
In fact the central problem of the original young avengers is not about legacy at all. It’s about a generational conflict.
The entire conflict with the Avengers comes down to the fact that the pioneers of superheroism in this case the Avengers are all people that were forced to chose being superheroes as the result of tragedy or extraordinary circumstances so they don’t get why a bunch of regular teenagers would simply chose to be superheroes, while the next generation of the profession aka the young avengers simply want to be superheroes to help people, because that’s the thing the people they idolized in this case the Avengers have been saying people should do for the entirety they have been alive.
The entire concept of legacy matters shockingly little in the book for a story about characters that have these individual connections particularly because a lot of characters don’t exactly know about them. And when they find out all of them are just like “oh, I’m related to this really amazing person. Cool. Moving on.” There is never a conflict between Eli and his grandfather. There is never a conflict between Cassie and Scott. Or Billy and Wanda. Or Tommy and Wanda. Or Mar-Vell and Teddy. Much less Vision and Vision. It’s only the guy related to a supervillain who has a problem with it. Everyone else is like “superhero parent, sweet! I’ll be a superhero!” and the only conflict they might have is getting around the lack of superpowers. Parental conflicts are in fact limited to the none superhero sides of the family like with Cassies mother or Teddys species.
And V2 focuses more on legacy? Is that a joke? The writer literally said he would not write a story like that. There is not a single storyline about legacy in the whole thing. Why would you think that? Because no name parent characters pop up as villains for a couple of issues? That was the writers opinion that teenagers have to villifiy their parents to run away from them and leave home in order to grow up and have their own lifes. Mommy and daddy issues? I guess. Legacy? Nope.
